No, WE are not going 
to say that we have 
better shoes than any- 
body else, because we 
haven't. There are a 
number of dealers that 
have just as good. 

The advantage you get here is the 
certainty of as good shoes as the 
money you pay can buy ; for you get 
the truth about them — just what they 
are and just how they are made. >? You 
get them for what they cost us plus an 
honest profit, and if they don't prove 
satisfactory you get your money back. 
To how many shoe stores can you 
go and get satisfaction if you are dis- 
satisfied ? Or if you get it, through 
what a sea of vexations and petty an- 
noyances must you wade before you 
get it. 

If you are dissatisfied here, we 
make you Judge and Jury; we give you 
your money back without a question. 
Foot-notes : 

We have visited the shops of the 
several first-rate shoemakers and have 



ROGERS PEET & COMPANY 

found that, with a singular unanimity, 
one and all were producing the same 
style of shoe. We further found that 
there is not a single ready-made dealer 
who has been or is producing this 
style; so we, who are ready-made 
dealers, have chosen it. 

There's nothing radical about it, 
nothing patent about it; it's not a 
cure for misshapen feet; it's merely a 
gentleman's shoe — good form, in both 
sense of shape and the meaning of style. 
It is a shoe that these first-rate shoe- 
makers sell for $io, $12, and $14; we 
charge but $5.00, and not one of you 
can tell the difference, either when 
first putting it on or when taking it off 
to throw away. 

We have christened this shoe the 
"Model," because we couldn't think 
of any better name to call it, and we 
have made it in all the various leathers 
and in all the various styles. 

Of course we can't expect all of you 
to agree with us that this is the most 
stylish of shoes; therefore we have 
ready all the other good styles, from 
the comparatively narrow toe to the 
decidedly broad.

THERE ARE in America 
perhaps four makers of 
men's hats that are recog- 
nized as fashion-makers. 
Each season each of them 
produces a Derby and a 
silk hat — in different sizes, of course, 
so as to try and accommodate the 
various sizes of man ; but too often 
the man accommodates himself to the 
hat rather than the hat accommodates 
itself to the man, since the hatter from 
whom he buys offers but one shape. 
As far as the quality of material 
and work go, these several hats are 
nearly all that is claimed for them, 
even though one cries, *' Second to 
None"; another shouts, " Unequaled"; 
a third hollers, ** First of AH" — while 
the fact of the matter is, one is as good 
as the other. If you want to pay $5 
for a Derby or $8 for a silk hat, 
choose the hatter who makes the hat 
most becoming to you and buy it. 

But if you don't want or can't afford 
to pay those prices, if you are too 
young or too old to care for a mere 



ROGERS PEET <5r COMPANY 

name, if the best of material and the 
best of workmanship are enough — 
why, we can interest you. 

We are imitators. 

As soon as the three or four shapes ^ 
appear, we make exact duplicates — 
not one, but all ; for there is no corner 
on good felt, no corner on good work, 
and we buy as good as money can - 
buy. 

Being imitators, the hats cost us 
less; besides we are satisfied with 
less profit, so we can sell for less. 

There you have our story. 

Besides hats we have hat-boxes, 
bags, sticks, umbrellas, traveling-rugs 
and shawls — only they are in another 
department. But we don't have 
English hats, as these three or four 
hatters have ; we think those made in 
America good enough.

' -t^ "Y O LONGER does the 
l^^k sign "Gents* Furnishing 

I ^^^ Goods" rest in smug 
I ^^ self-complacency over 
' -^ ^ the entrance of the bet- 
ter shops that sell neck- 
wear and all the little essentials of 
men's dress. "Haberdashery/' de- 
rived from the English " berdash," an 
old-time neck-dress, fittingly takes its 
place ; and prices have not increased 
in consequence. 

Of peculiar interest is the fact that 
under the regime of gents' furnishing 
goods many of the articles sold, such as 
gloves, neckwear, underwear, night- 
shirts, and the like, were invariably 
made to order; but with the better 
taste of haberdashery has come the 
common-sense view that most of these 
things can be got ready-made to the 
satisfaction of most men. There 
is but one real exception, and that is the 
one exception to our ready-made policy, 
namely, shirts. There is probably 
no article of wearing apparel about 
which finicky man is so &nicky ; and 



ROGERS PEET Sr COMPANY 

although our stock of shirts is large 
and complete, and although we sell 
(so we are told) more ready-made 
shirts than any other one dealer, we 
recognize the demand for shirts made 
to order by making them to order. 

One other article is, so to speak, on 
the fence — collars. But we have all 
the styles made by two of the most 
famous collar-manufacturers, and we 
take our stand firmly by them. 

With these two exceptions, we buy 
the same goods from the same manu- 
facturers as any and all of the ex- 
clusive, high-priced sellers of haber- 
dashery in New York City; but besides 
having the same things that they have, 
we have what they don't deign to have 
— good, every-day, sensible articles for 
the man of small wants or small purse. 
We sell the same goods for less money 
than they, of course, and in addition 
make right anything that may not 
turn out right. 

We feel safe in saying that every 
kink and quirk of fashion in haber- 
dashery may be found at our stores, 
or if not found, will be found for you.

IF YOU have fallen Into that 
unfortunate habit of judging by 
the exterior shell, without so 
much as a thought for the kernel 
within the shell ; in other words, 
if a much-bebraided suit causes 
you to forget that there is cloth be- 
neath the braid — cloth that can change 
or remain fast in color, cloth that may 
be properly or improperly cut, cloth 
that is well or badly sewn ; or if the 
glamor of 98 cents as against an even 
dollar makes the question of how 
long a suit will wear one of secondary 
consideration, don't bother with us, for 
we can't interest you. 

We first of all make our boys' suits 
right, just as right as our men's suits ; 
then we make them " pretty." For this 
we charge as little as such sort of 
work will allow ; but, nevertheless, in 
price we do not pretend to compete 
with the dealers in "cheap" clothing 
— we don't want to. 

But at any lower prices than ours, 
no one can compete with us ; and no 
one attempts to compete with us in 



ROGERS PEET Sr COMPANY 

our willingness to make right what- 
ever may go wrong. 

Don't imagine from this that our 
clothes for boys are foolishly fine or 
the work needlessly good. They are 
chosen for and made for boys, with 
the knowledge that there is no animal 
so hard on his clothes as a boy, with 
the realization of how fast boys "shoot 
up." And knowing all this, we are 
able to say that we can clothe your 
boy for less a year than you can 
clothe him elsewhere — or we'll give 
you your money back. 

Suppose you try.

THE STRIKE OF WILLIE'S CLOTHES 



Y 



OUNG Master William Thingum Tite 
His parents* patience sorely tried ; 

They called the boy, as well they might, 
"UNTIDINESS PERSONIFIED." 

Whene'er he went to bed at night 
He never put his clothing by, 

But tossed his things to left or right, 
And where they fell he let them lie. 



"4 



ROGERS PEET fir COMPANY 



Now, clothes when so ill-used as these 
Are certain to resent the slight 

In course of time — now, listen, please, 
What Willie's clothing did one night. 



One night, when little Will- 
iam lay 
Wrapped in the arms of 
Morpheus, 
His clothes a meeting held, 
that they 
Their sad condition might 
discuss.

TAKE CARE of the little 
feet, and the big feet will 
take care of themselves," 
remarks some old wise- 
acre whose feet probably 
had not received proper 
attention. But it's true, nevertheless, 
that there is no other article of wear- 
ing apparel that should have bestowed 
upon it the thought and care de- 
manded by boys' shoes. 

Now, this prelude doesn't mean 
that we have some hygienic model 
to foist upon you, some special style 
of which to sing the praises; we 
simply believe in shoes for boys that 
conform as much as possible to the 
natural foot — as much as possible 
without losing all sense of good looks 
and style; we believe in shoes for 
boys that are strongly enough made 
to bear, without flinching, the con- 
stant rubadubdub of the healthy 
boy in motion ; we belfeve in shoes 
for boys that are little enough priced 
to admit of a growing boy wearing 
them. 



WE TRY to live up to 
these beliefs; if we fail, 
or if the shoes v/e sell 
fail in the slightest 
degree, we content our- 
selves with the knowl- 
edge that you are amply protected by 
our well-known policy of "your money 
back if you want it." "

DAME FASHION doesn't 
draw the line so closely 
about boys' hats as about 
men's, for, being a wom- 
an herself, she can feel 
for the mother who will 
not buy hats for her boy that make 
him appear old, lest her own age 
might be too apparent. What is be- 
coming, what is pretty, is what is 
sought after. 

We have remembered that ; but we 
have not forgotten quality, for it is 
quality that wins in the final race. 

You will undoubtedly have prices 
quoted that are lower, much lower, 
than ours ; but they will not be for the 
same quality of hats, remember, be- 
cause while our stock contains all the 
various new sorts and styles of hats 
that boys or boys' mothers could 
want, other dealers' stocks may con- 
tain as many. So the one advan- 
tage we offer or intend to offer is: 
the same as other good dealers at 
lower prices, or — your money back 
if you want it.

" How could he go to ball or hop, 

Or even walk the avenues ? " 
** Why, but for us he'd have to stop 

At home, of course ! " exclaimed the Shoes. 

" Supposing, on the street, perhaps, 

He met a lady that he knew — 
How could he bow ? " The Hats and Caps 

Shouted in unison, " That's True ! " 



*"The Strike of Willie's Clothes" was begun in 
the Fifth Little Book of "The Works of Rogers Peet

YOUR MODERN boy 
is a boy without a 
boyhood — he's born a 
man ; he wants to do just 
what his father does ; he 
wants to wear just what 
his father wears ; and what he wants 
he usually gets. 

Each of our big stores has, grouped 
in one little store by itself, all the little 
essentials to boys' dress — man's wear- 
ables with the mannishness taken out. 
This little store has more care and 
time bestowed upon it than many 
another of ten times its size ; every- 
thing is there, and everything has to 
do double duty — to be at once manly 
for the boy and dainty for the mother. 
The new things that appear in our 
men's store are almost invariably, al- 
most immediately, copied for boys; 
for these two stores go hand in hand 
as father and son, and, like father 
and son, each helps the other. 

We think that what we sell is right, 
and we feel that the prices at which 
we sell are right; but if one or both 



ROGERS PEET <&- COMPANY 

should prove wrong, we make them 
right. How? By returning your 
money or giving you new goods. 

Could we do more ? Could you ask 
more ? Could you do better than to 
buy all his little wants at just such a 
little store ?

THE STRIKE OF WILLIE'S CLOTHES*— Continued 

A Resolution, then, proposed 

By Oxford Shoe and seconded 
By White Cravat (no one opposed), 

Was passed — and this is how it read : 

WHEREAS, one William Thingum Tite, 
Has shown himself for clothes unfit, 

WHEREAS, we, Undersigned, His Clothes, 
Are painfully aware of it ; 



*"Thc Strike of Willie's Clothes" was begun in 
the Fifth Little Book of " The Works of Rogers Pcet 
& Company."

ROGERS PEET &- COMPANY 



WHEREAS, said William never pays 

Us the attention that we like ; 
RESOL VED, unless he mend his ways, 

We, Undersigned, His Clothes, WILL STRIKE ! 

The Resolution, being framed, 

And signed and sealed that very night, 

A Deputation then was named 

To wait on William Thingum Tite. 

When William rose next day he wore 
A somewhat sad and thoughtful air. 
Picking his clothes from off the floor, 
•* He smoothed them out with greatest care. 

He never told his Dream at all, 

But from that day his parents vied 
In praising him ; and now they call 

Him ♦♦ TIDINESS PERSONIFIED."
